Does this product kill bacteria?

The active ingredient in Advanage is called 2-Butoxyethanol(close to glycol) , there are two other ingredients sodium metasilicate(sodium carbonate fused with silicon dioxide) and d'limonene(oil extract from citrus fruit). They are good degreasers and can be found in most cleaning agents like simple green. In no way would this product qualify to be considered an anti-bacterial cleaner, but it will kill some stuff. If you want to know more feel free to let me know. Basically, it's like buying antifreeze with orange peels in it. It's not toxic by US standards but other countries that have scientists making decisions instead of some uneducated politician.

Only as it removes them during cleaning. Heads up. Unless you purchase directly from Advanage, you run the risk of getting a knock off product. I recommend you purchase only from :http://www.advanage20x.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store;_Code=A&Catego;ry_Code=wonder_cleanersIt's a great general purpose cleaner. Never found anything better. To completely disinfect, use a light spray of Windex after cleaning.

It does not say on the packaging that it is antibacterial. It cleans very well. On occasion I will add some household bleach to my mop water or the solution I use to clean my kitchen.

Can't know for sure since I am without the equipment to make that determination. As with any product we are at the mercy of the manufacturer as to the true potential to kill germs etc.

It is a really low temperature for an extended period of time, to create the fermenting of the yogurt. I'm not sure it would kill bacteria like you would need it to, for a baby's food.

The product description on amazon says that it kills, but the aquamira website doesn't. Check this link: https://mcnett.zendesk.com/entries/448256-Do-Aquamira-Water-Treatment-Drops-Remove-Viruses-and-Bacteria- This seems a response to specific products. While it says that chlorine dioxide kills Cryptosporidium and Giardia, it doesn't want to say it explicitly so until proven.

I imagine it would kill a buttload of germs, If regular vinegar at 5% kills 80% of germs then it stands to reason that 20% would kill 320% percent of germs. Any germ this did not kill I would be proud to have. In using this for house cleaning be aware that it is real acid and may etch the surface of some things. If it removes the rust from old tractor parts it is pretty strong. You might consider asking on some cleaning advice forum before using this on a fancy fridge or stone counters.

Probably yes. I'm no expert but the bottle DOES NOT "kill" anything. The process scrambles the DNA so they can't reproduce or something like that. I trust CamelBak 100%. The All Clear neutralizes R. Terrigena which is the bacteria selected per the EPA guideline is because it comes from the Enterobacteriaciae family which is more resistant than E Coli (Cholera). Hope this answer clear your doubts. For more information feel free to visit http://www.camelbak.com/en/Sports-Recreation/Purification/Faq/faq.aspx

It should. When used properly it can kill even the aids virus. You can use it in a spray bottle but to be effective you need to allow the solution to sit on the surface for about five minutes. All surface dirt should be removed prior to sanitization.

Unopened it should be good a couple years ,you can ask that question directly to the company at their website Q and A site. Be careful using other products with it if the kill things they could kill your good bacteria.

My best guess is yes it does. This sanitizer is basically food grade phosphoric acid. If you absolutely want to get rid of every living organism and be sure of it, use hot water and bleach solution. 1 tablespoon bleach and 1 gallon water should do it, just make sure you give it a nice good and long rinse afterward with boiling water. Or just use star san and not rinse at all. :)

Yes, it should work to kill bacteria and microbes on the fruits and vegetables. After adding the activated parts A and B together into the amount of water you want to purify, put the fruits and vegetables into the water and wait the recommended amount of time for the solution to purify the water. I would recommend that you prewash the F & V prior to adding to the treated solution, so you do not have any particulate in your treated water. Reserve the treated water for drinking.

I do not think it will kill mold. It is suppose to neutralize the smell and make it harder for mold bacteria to develop.

It will kill/reduce most forms of aerobic bacteria in a reasonably clean water system. If you have high concentration of bacteria, you should treat with a higher concentration oh H2O2, and maintain the water system with this.

I do. Shock kills bacteria and other contaminants but is only minimally effective on algae. I learned an expensive lesson trying to use shock to kill the algae.

I don't think it is. Maybe by using an anti-bacterial spray it would be. Sorry to not have better information.

I dont think this product actually works. If it kills mold i have never seen it happen nor do i notice any change in air quality.

I first heard about this product on one of PBS's. America's Test Kitchen shows. I believe they said that the "antibacterial" products killed more bacteria but used bleach or a pesticide to accomplish the higher percentage of bacteria killed, Method did almost as well with their plant based extracts.

Nope, this isn't a disinfectant (such products are always labeled as having that attribute). My view is that FDA and CDC think that we're using too many antibacterial agents in our household cleaning products as it is, so I don't use such products in most situations (soap will kill most bacteria). OTH if you have a biohazard type situation at home (eg bodily fluids) you may want to use a disinfectant to clean up that particular mess.
